Eagle Byzantium

There was a rustling sound, and the cry of this Zhelan attracted several other common stags in the forest garden. One of the "leaders" thought that this Zhelan made such an arrogant cry because he was preparing to court a mate on his territory. When he came, he couldn't help but get angry and quickly approached. When he got closer, he saw that the horns on Zhelan's head were much bigger than his own. He was even more angry. He lowered his head, straightened his own horns, and clicked. Fighting with Zhelan.

After a few rounds of goring each other, the deer immediately realized that it had been deceived - a silk net with small bells hung between Zhelan's head and the branches. The moment it went to fight, it was entangled in the net and could not escape. .

The bells jingled, and Gawain immediately clapped his hands and drank, "Go up, go up, kill this lured deer!"

Sleeping officer Wen Ruomingna also circled her lips with one hand, "Your Highness, come on!"

As a result, while Christopher was still hesitating, Calleadeos rushed out from behind the stone, raised his sharp dagger, and plunged it directly into the neck of the deceived deer. The stag twitched all over. Next, he was dying by the silk screen, his eyes wide open and tears of regret flowed out.

The orchid was also frightened and ran in a circle uneasily, but the iron ingot tied to its feet prevented it from moving away.

"This boy is as decisive as me." Gawain walked over and patted Kaleadios on the shoulder.

Then he looked at Christopher, who was still holding the bloodless dagger. He looked at his father timidly, pointed over there and explained, "I'm afraid, there are many deer over there."

Gawain turned around and saw that there were indeed three or four stags there, with sharp antlers shining. It was only when they saw Gawain approaching that they were so scared that they retreated. If it were just these two children, they would definitely start. A fierce revenge attack.

Gawain then touched Christopher's head and said in a deep voice, "Well, you also have to understand two things. One is that you can set traps to hunt animals, and the other is to observe the surrounding or subsequent situations before taking action. Always infallible."

At this time, Muzaffy-Addin and several female officials came over, bowed and saluted Gawain and said, "The fleets of Magnusson and Portland will soon dock at the New Paul Port."

"Is the news reliable?" Gawain raised his hand, washed it several times in the basin sent by the sleeping attendant, and asked.

"The information sent from the Seleucia military port overnight should be correct. They are all ships provided by Venice and Sicilians. They have nearly 10,000 soldiers under their command."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Gawain shook the water droplets and told the fat eunuch. Then, accompanied by the sleeping officer and military servants, he walked towards the palace, "No matter what, it's all The companions of the Eastern Expedition must be received!”

The crews on the decks of Sicilian and Venetian ships in the new port of São Paulo are completely different scenes. The Venetian sailors were all sitting on the rowing benches, facing the sun in an orderly manner, while the captains looked at Cleopatra's Gate and the Windmill Lighthouse in amazement, and looked at the inner city wall with vigilance and uneasiness. There’s a big dock there. There’s still something to see over there. The clear cluster of workshops and the thick smoke coming out of the chimneys revealed their identities: they were definitely no less than the Grand Arsenal of Venice, where they must be forging and manufacturing various artillery, muskets, and crossbows day and night. , leather armor and shield.

The sailors on the Sicilian ships came from different countries, including Antwerps, Saracens and Moors. Some wore sailor leather armor with nails, and some wore tall red hats. Their whole bodies exuded the smell of fish, and most of them were holding wine bottles and looking at Tarsu with sleepy eyes. New Town, a prosperous commercial port area and market between the big docks and docks, where merchants from various countries gather, including Aleppo, Trabzon, Iconium, Smyrna, and Red Duck. , Pisa, Masseria, Armenia, Persia, Cairo, where you can really buy "the best goods in the world".

"Oh oh oh!" On the deck of the pilot ship, a group of sailors pointed to the stone pavement on the shore and shouted in surprise. They had never seen such a sight in their travels: a horn with curved horns much larger than that of an ordinary cow. Black bullock, healthy Walking there steadily, there were actually sitting on them, three, five, seven... a total of seventeen or eight dark-skinned and barefooted people, with gorgeous turbans and feathers on their heads. Some put their hands together and crossed their legs, some bent their knees as if they were flying, and they were on the back of the cow. It was stacked in the shape of an inverted pyramid without any bumps. Later, a procession of ceremonial guards holding flags and flags emerged from the Tarsus Palace on the north side of the street. They realized that it turned out that the ox on its back was the envoy of the Sultan of Delhi, India. , the entire envoy is on it, and this "buffalo" is a gift from the Sultan to the male and female Caesars of Tarsus - it can withstand infections and diseases, and is very powerful in working in the rice fields, and its horns are still stronger than Yellow sheep horn is a more excellent bow-making material.

When the next wave came, several ships were bumping. The Norwegians on the deck and in the cabin were fine, but the Provençal people were all vomiting...

At the end of the New City Avenue, behind the white palace walls and lush forest gardens, is the palace of Gawain and Anna. However, the civilian army guarding here only allows the leaders of the fleet to disembark to the palace, and the limit is fifty people. .

The rest of the sailors can only buy supplies and goods at the stalls set up on the pier, and cannot go deep into the inner wall of the dock. Violators will be severely punished.

Finally, the Norwegian co-king Magnusson, Raymond's son Portland and his nephew Jordan, and the commander of the Sicilian fleet, a Moor named Abher (this is very common in the Kingdom of Sicily), walked as representatives on the bustling streets of five miles and entered the audience hall of the palace.

Portland came with deep resentment. Even though his sword was confiscated by Gawain's guards when he walked into the gate, he still wanted to stare with his eyes and remember the cruel and shameless Varangian butcher who appeared in front of him immediately.

The spacious audience hall combines the styles of Byzantium, Fatima, and Cordoba. It is said that during the construction period, Gawain and Anna invested a thousand Byzantine gold coins in it every month: because this is the place for implementing national diplomacy, this money cannot be saved at all.

Therefore, envoys and merchant groups from all over the world were shocked when they walked in.

This includes Portland.

He saw a tall brown-haired king wearing a shoulder strap and a long robe standing in the middle of the marble steps, and male and female servants in various costumes lined up along the gorgeous screen on both sides, including priests, soldiers, female officials, eunuchs, and royal merchants.

Of course, next to this guy was a beautiful and elegant little woman in a purple robe embroidered with gold, Anna Gawain, who had just taken her husband's surname.

"Come forward, you are allowed to talk to the emperor and empress of New Rome." A fat eunuch in a white hat standing in front called out with full energy.
